Some raw behind the scenes moments in Brisbane breakfast radio. B105 would run an annual christmas appeal, which usually resulted in the breakfast show to broadcast for 27 hours.
I attended a few of them, and in 2009 I randomly recorded the trip of Labby, Camilla & Stav riding the double decker bus from North Quay studios to the top of Mt Coot-tha at around 12am – 1am.

In 2006, I made my one and only acting appearance in a TV commercial for MIX 106.5 FM Sydney.
While I did work at said radio station, I had no idea what the competition was about. One of the staffers was given instructions on recruiting people to appear in the ad, asking for people 30 to 45 age range, preferably female. Out of all the searching to find people available to be paid $150 for a few hours work or standing around and trying to collect fake money falling from the studio ceiling, I was one of the standees. But because I was male and in my mid 20s, I was shoved towards the back… the far back.
The end result was my lanky arms appearing for 1 second around the 17 second mark, popping up behind the presenter at the front.

Between 2004 and 2005, I tried to conduct interviews for my community radio show. Here is a rough playlist of some of the recordings.
The 2004 ARIA Nominations Presentations was a media call-out for the awards, where media got to meet-and-greet the hosts – at the time it was Rove McManus, as well as any music talent that was willing to turn up.
With my brother’s mini disc recorder, I had chats with Rove, Peter Helliar, Paul Mac, and Nathan Foley.
Also on this playlist are three interviews for the segment “The Dream Of Being…” where I speak to personalities in regards to how they got to where they are (or were, at the time of the recordings). I recorded about 7 of these, but the 3 I found are of former TV Journalist Christine Spiteri, Author / Model / Socialite Bessie Bardot, and Artist Katthy Cavaliere.

One of my early attempts at interviewing personalities. “The Dream Of Being…” was a radio segment on the community radio show I had in the early 2000s, which I interviewed guests to find out how they got to where they were (at the time).
I recorded about eight of these interviews, (TV Journalist Christine Spiteri, Model and Author Bessie Bardot, Model and TV personality Geoff Barker, Artist Katthy Cavaliere, Radio Announcer Kip Wightman, Music Producer Jimmy Z, Newspaper Journalist Peita Waide, Councillor Fred Borg) but could only find three of them.
